It's well known China and rogue specifically own the US... this is just a logical next step...

The shoes don't look comfortable wearing at all.

Also, links about his decision to leave the Jordan Brand (http://www.cbssports.com/nba/blog/eye-on-basketball/20437906/dwyane-wade-leaves-jordan-brand) and his deal with Li-Ning (http://offthedribble.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/10/11/wade-li-ning-make-an-apparel-deal/).

Was never quite happy that he didn't get his premiere line with Nike so it isn't a surprise him leaving Nike and the Jordan brand...

Those things look like they'll fall apart after 2-3 pickup games.

It looks like something that will injure him after 10 games.

Good point.

Though some are made in Vietnam...which, may just be as bad...

At least Nikes have some degree of QC. These Li-Nings just shout out suckage, looks and comfort-wise.

Yeah, and in all actuality, the shoe probably plays a lower role in injuries than outside variables...I mean, I've rarely tweaked an ankle when I've taken the proper precautions to stretch and tighten the Kobes up the right way...

There is a right way to tie the Kobes up? I just rock it and go.

I tie them up...but then again, I have had 2 recon surgeries on my left ankle and so any time I twerk it--I run the risk of breaking it again.

Didn't this kind of sh!t happen to Martina Hingis? What happened to her $40 mil lawsuit btw?

Sergio Tacchini and Hingis settled quietly, and then she moved to Adidas. They can't even pay Novak Djokovic nowadays, and that's the reason why he moved to Uniqlo.

Should've signed up with Nike or Adidas. Atleast those two have the money to have an R&D dept.

Versus LA's Freshmen team, Wade went 2-9 FGAs and 1-2 FTAs in his new kicks. Miami won (http://espn.go.com/nba/boxscore?gameId=400400484) despite Wade. :lol

So these overboard tacky ass plastic sneakers are considered to be stylish and comfortable - yet the Li-Ning sneakers look cheap? Hell Li-Ning sneakers are probably made in better factories in China than Nike and Jordan because the brand is making sneakers in its own homeland.

Allen is going to prove to be a great addition. Allen next to LeBron and Wade is going to insane. Don't have much hope for Lewis but I have heard good things in terms of his health.

if you're aimed to flirt with the chinks by choosing a chinese brand you may as well choose some other chinese brands instead, like peak for example which has been working fine for guys like battier and kidd

Peak is shit, it gave Ron Artest plantar fasciitis in 2010. iirc He switched to Nike mid-season because of how shit Peak is.
